King Kong (1933) Now Up For Pre-Order!

Amazon has the 1933 King Kong now up for pre-order. Just do a search for King Kong. Watch though, they have both the 2-disc set and the 4-disc set for, unless I am not reading something right, the same price. So make sure you order the right one.

Hmmm - my information a month ago and in the "Small Screen" article I wrote for issue #62 of Modeler's Resource said that there would be three versions available, as listed below:


The King Kong: Two Disc Special Edition will include the 104-minute restored and remastered B&W film on video in it’s original full frame, with Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio and English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Extras will include audio commentary (by Ray Harryhausen and Ken Ralston, With Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B Schoedsack, Ruth Rose, Fay Wray, and Robert Armstrong), the 2005 I’m Kong: The Exploits of Merian C. Cooper documentary, a gallery of trailers for other films by director Merian C. Cooper, the new RKO Production 601: The Making of King Kong, Eighth Wonder of The World documentary by Peter Jackson (featuring the following featurettes: The Origins of King Kong, Willis O’Brien and Creation, Cameras Roll on Kong, The Eighth Wonder, A Milestone in Visual Effects, Passion, Sound and Fury, The Mystery of The Lost Spider Pit Sequence, and King Kong’s Legacy) and Creation test footage (with commentary by Ray Harryhausen).



The King Kong: Two Disc Collector’s Edition will include all of the above in limited tin packaging that also features a 20-page reproduction of the original 1933 souvenir program, King Kong original one-sheet reproduction postcards and a mail-in offer for a reproduction of a vintage theatrical poster.



The King Kong Four-Disc Collector’s Set will include the King Kong: Two Disc Collector’s Edition along with Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young. It will NOT include the extras in the Collector’s Edition tin.

Here we go:

The 4-disk set ("King Kong Collection") is the same price as the 2-disk "Collector's edition" in the tin box with the extras. The less expensive "Special Edition" is the base 2-disk set with no extras.

Not very imformative on the cartoon versions eh ? :(
